THE SILVER QUESTION.
Judge Sheldon Addresses The Chal
 ber of Commerce On The Subject.

Judge Sheldon Addresses The Cham
 ber of Commerce On The Subject.
 The Chamber of Commefce of New Haven
 was represented at Loomis' Temple rooms
 last evening by an audience of about one
 hundred gentlemen and ladies. They gave
 interested close attention to Hon. Judge Sheldon's address on "Gold and Silver' and their value as the circulating medium of exchange and the effect of each as to loss or gain. The fact of debts contracted and paid makes the subject one of great importance. The difference of paying debt in the dol lars, as contracted for, and paying the debt in the rate of two dollars for one shows how necessary is uniform and fixed standard of value. The total of all present national debts, the speaker said amounted to twenty seven thousand millions of dollars, and pri- vate debts amount to double this vast amount. How shall these be paid? Evi- dently not in coin of any kind, but really in exchangeable commodities, currency, so far as it can be obtained and real wealth so
 far as that can go from one to another. The
 fact that the kingdom of France kept the rela- tive value of gold and silver the same for
 seventy years from 1903 to 1873 was en-
 phasized as of great importance. It showed that this country with more gold and silver, more riches and inhabitants could do the same.
 This country alone by itself can make the standard of gold and silver one of gold to sixteen of silver and can maintain it, as is clearly shown by what France has done. In both cases by free and unlimited coinage a permanent, constant, sufficient currency is secured. Only stenographic accurate report can do ! justice to the address.
 Fl. T. Blake, Esq, voiced the sentiment | of the meeting in praise of the interesting
 and able address, moving vote of thanks, which was heartily and unanimous y given. Cashier George A. Butler of ! the Tradesmens bank made 8 few l remarks testifying to the paper as according we'll with his own views and writings in the
 main. The president, Hon. James D.pewell,
 made interesting remarks on the subject, delicately noticing the advance of the speak CT from the theory of greenbacks alone to having them backed up by coin at uniform valuation. The judges paper was heartily spplauded.

A PROCLAMATION.

In accordance with custom fitting in itself and hallowed by long and unbroken observance, here bv appoint Friday, the eighth day of April, as a day of fasting and prayer; and recommend to the S1eone of the State to pass that day. that rising above the material and the earthly into the region of the spiritual and the heavenly, they may be able fine more clearly to see and the more keenly to feed the need and the obligation of those private virtues that concern the welfare and dignity of the com monWeaIth. And call upon all to remember espe- eialIy on that day that the fast which the Lord hath chosen is not day for to afflict his soul but rather deal bread to the hungry, to loose the honds of wickedness to undo the heavy burdens, to Iet fine oppressed go free that Gods law of selfde nlai receives it's fnillment in the golden rule of Griat and that the joy of individual life, the hap piness of the family and the glory of the State are ne devotion of those who do justly and love mercy and walk humbly with God.
